Just put the content (p0data2.bin) in \FINAL FANTASY IX\streamingAssets\ (save the original p0data2.bin first)

This will eventually be part of Moguri.

Testing right now!

Is there a reason why the p0data2.bin is only about 900MB compared to the Moguri Mod p0data2.bin with 2GB?
I‘m not into modding... just wondering  ;D

Yes, that's linked to the way the transparency of the images is handled. I used DXT1 instead of DXT5, because the game only uses 1 bit of alpha (so it means transparency is either 0 or 1, not in between). Thus, the size is smaller and the final result has less artifact. I tested all possible options, this is the best one.
